    This happens on all GAS stoves with knobs on front

      Definitely has happened to us. I know reaching over flames is deemed "dangerous" but I think having the gas on unknowingly is much worse.

      @@sleepcoach Might this be a way to discourage people from buying gas ranges. If that is so, this is a very insensitive way to do it. Whoever does it intentionally, puts every family who purchase one of those in high danger.

    I purchased this a few months ago. The knobs are easy to turn. Buttons on dishwasher very sensitive too.

    This just happened to us and I have video. My wife was cleaning and just wiped it softly and it did not click but turned from high to the lowest position without being lit. It was in for about 10-11 hours!!! It took me over 90 minutes to air out over 3000 sq feet. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!!

    I just bought an LG range very similar to this one from Costco. It will be delivered next week. I spent a lot of time shopping around before I decided on an LG. Turned lots of knobs on many different brands of stoves--I can't that I remembered any where it didn't take considerable action to get the gas flowing. I currently have a 22 year old Kenmore gas range which has knobs on the front just like this LG. I've never had an incident where I inadvertently turned on the gas. Over the years I have used many gas ranges and never had this issue.
    I've never heard of a home gas explosion that was caused by a gas stove. If this were a common problem, then why haven't more homes blown up?

    This happens to us often. Even a light tap with a grocery bag or jacket will turn the gas on and not light the burner. We are paranoid about this stupid stove.

      Hi, I had the broken part replace last year. The controllers are made of plastic and so fragile that they won’t last longer. It is poorly designed and not reliable.

    Happens to us with our LG stove ALL the time. I keep a sharp eye on the knobs. One time I woke up in the middle of the night and smelled gas, even with our door closed. Got up and the knob was full on with gas blasting. The dog had jumped and knocked it on with his paw. These knobs are so dangerous. I’m surprised no one has been killed yet.

    We have an LG6337 slide-in gas range with front-mounted controls. You have to push a knob in fully in order to turn it. Problem solved, and unit highly recommended!

    That's insane.
    I am here because my family bought a Frigidaire on Columbus day and today while I was turning off the stove, it kept spinning in a way I couldn't verify whether the kitchen top was on or off.
    There's was no stopper. It feels like when you purchase a cheap electronic toy.

    This only on North America. In Europe the gas valve shots off if there is no heat, so you need to intentionally hold the valve the run the gas. My mothers 45 years gastove has this safety alrady in place.....

    When I was a kid in the 60’s we had a gas range. My parents taught me to stay away from that, knives, watch for cars, strangers. And I survived. TEACH your children and things can be prevented. Don’t blame a manufacturer for your lack of parenting skills or enforcement. Just sayin.

    Has happened multiple times with our lg, its fucking ridiculous how sensetive they are, just had some groceries placed on top of a range stove and they caught fire because someone lightly brushed against it! The fuck kind of design is this? A child could push it, a dogs fucking tail couldve done it!

  • @TheGazaMethodChannel

    Beautiful product but the design is obviously functionally flawed. Sounds like the Corvair case where GM would not fix obvious dangers. So are their lawyers measuring the cost of a Ralph Naderish class action negligence suit versus the cost of fixing the design or recall? Maybe stay away from this product---See Nader's book, Unsafe at any Speed.
